From Flint, Michigan to the exploitation of indigenous groups and the plight of the displaced, environmental crises can detract from people’s fundamental human rights – including the right to health, livelihood, and security.
How can environmental and human rights organizations better work together to the benefit of all? Rights-based climate change and conservation strategies challenge organizations to determine just who is benefiting, whose voices are being left behind, and how to close the gaps. Creating such strategies will involve closer community and stakeholder engagement to give voice to the marginalized.
Join the Wilson Center on June 22 for a conversation with thought leaders from the environmental community, the public sector, and government on climate change and conservation efforts’ direct and indirect impacts on a wide range of human rights.

The ocean is swept by winds in regionally and seasonally predictable ways, and seabirds have been exploiting these patterns for millennia.
The pressure of the air between the Cory's wings and water allow for such gliding grace. I have watched these special birds a lot and they always bring a a big smile across my face!
Description:
Cory's Shearwater is a large seabird. Diagnostic yellow bill usually only visible at close range. Look for warm pale brown upperparts and white belly. Also note little contrast between the brown head and white throat (compare with distinct capped appearance of Great Shearwater). Slower wingbeats than other shearwaters, especially in calm conditions; wings looked pushed forward in flight. Forms mixed flocks with other shearwaters offshore.
This species as a stronger flight action than most shearwaters, with slower wingbeats and prolonged glides, sometimes soaring high above waves. Nesting on islands in the Mediterranean Sea and eastern Atlantic, it regularly visits waters off the east coast of North America. Although a few get as far north as Canada, the species is most common off the southeastern US states.
Feeding Behaviour.
Forages mainly by plunging into water from just above surface, and by seizing items while swimming. Often may feed at night. Scavenges near fishing boats; may feed in association with whales or large predatory fish, which drive schools of small fish to the surface.
Eggs
One. White. Incubation is by both sexes, 52-56 days. Young: Both parents feed young, visiting at night. Eventually young is deserted and goes to sea on its own. Period from hatching to departure probably about 90 days.
Young
Both parents feed young, visiting at night. Eventually young is deserted and goes to sea on its own. Period from hatching to departure probably about 90 days.
Diet
Mostly fish, squid, and crustaceans. Diet not well known; fish eaten include herring and sand lance. At times may feed mainly on squid. Also eats crabs and other crustaceans, and on scraps and offal around fishing boats.
Nesting
Breeds in colonies on islands; on large islands, colonies may be several miles inland. Breeding season mostly from March to October. Activity in colonies mainly late afternoon to dawn; where persecuted by humans or other predators, may visit colonies only at night. In courtship, members of pair sit close together on ground, nibbling at each other's head and bill. Nest: Site is in burrow up to 3' long, or in crevice in rocks, sometimes on ground under thick scrub. Nest is simple pile of pebbles, shells.

We recognized leaders in child safety, honor survivors, and remember the families and victims who are still seeking justice and safety. Every child deserves a safe childhood. Claire Edkins/NCMEC
Le minerai de soufre de la solfatare du Kawah Ijen est exploité depuis plusieurs décennies par des villageois de la caldeira de l'Ijen3. Ces derniers extraient le minerai à coup de barre à mine sous la forme de blocs de plusieurs dizaines de kilogrammes chacun qu'ils installent dans des paniers3. Ils les redescendent ensuite à pied dans la vallée jusqu'à une usine. Afin d'optimiser la formation de ce minerai, un système de tuyaux métalliques a été installé à la sortie des principales bouches3. Les vapeurs sont alors refroidies plus rapidement et la concentration élevée en minéraux accélère leur cristallisation, augmentant par là-même le rendement de cette industrie3. Ce métier n'est pas sans danger pour les mineurs car outre l'effort physique à fournir principalement représenté par la marche en altitude et le portage du minerai, la cohabitation durant des heures avec des composés chimiques est néfaste pour la santé : l'évaporation du lac acide tout proche et les vapeurs dégagées par la solfatare sont hautement chargées en acide chlorhydrique, acide sulfurique, dioxyde de soufre, etc., qui attaquent les muqueuses, les yeux, la peau, etc
Créé en 1937, l’école primaire publique de Koudoukou sis au PK5, dans le 3ème arrondissement de Bangui, est le premier établissement scolaire de Centrafrique. Il a servi de cadre ce 3 décembre 2019 au lancement officiel d’une campagne de la MINUSCA dénommée ‘’Causeries éducatives’’, pour informer et sensibiliser les populations, y compris la jeunesse scolaire, sur les questions relatives à l’exploitation et abus sexuels, afin de les prévenir.
